Kokomo Is So Boring.
There’s never anything to do in this town. Ever.
By THE KOKOMO POST STAFF
At The Kokomo Post, we hate how boring Kokomo is. There’s never anything fun to do in this small town and even though we spent hours searching for things to do, we couldn’t find anything except the 200 or so activities, businesses and experiences below. It’s a shame there’s nothing going on.
Family Friendly | Fitness | Art | History | Nature | Nightlife | Annual | Venues | Local Shopping | Local Eats
FAMILY-FRIENDLY
It's so lame that there's only 30 family-friendly activities in Kokomo. There's only a family aquatic center, a free splash pad, golf simulator and a dozen other options. It's great if you like action, activity, free events, arts, crafts and memories — but who wants those?
Koko-Go Free Ride
Free bike-share program with bicycles for adults and children to explore our massive trail system. Lame.
Fired Arts Studio
Who wants to design and paint your own pottery and then come back for your beautiful creation after someone has fired it in a kiln for you? What about classes for children and families? Sounds pitiful.
Kokomo Art Association’s Artworks Gallery and Kokomo Art Center
There are two spots in Kokomo where you and your family can find art and classes. If you hate quality time and making memories as a family, don’t go here.

The Zone
Childlike energy and fun of laser tag in a huge facility? That’s just childish.
Gravity Trampoline Park
Cavernous facility with trampolines, foam pits, a rock climbing wall and brand new zip lines? More foolishness.
Sun King Kokomo
Family-friendly taproom in the Buckeye Street Depot District with board games, indoor and outdoor seating, a pocket park next door and tons of locally brewed craft beers. We just don’t understand why there’s nothing good in Kokomo.
Kokomo Beach
Huge aquatic center with a lazy river, water slides and splash pads. Yuck.
Chuck E. Cheese
Dozens of arcade games, activities, prizes and shockingly good pizza? Nah. There’s nothing to do with kids in Kokomo.
Kokomo Family YMCA
This brand new, state-of-the art facility features a double gymnasium, two pools, a kids’ splash pad, sauna, steam room, expansive wellness center, community gathering space and a list of group fitness classes a mile long. Plus it gives back to the community in a million ways.
Al Berryman Splash Pad
A free community splash pad open for the entire community? Pass.
City of Firsts Adventure Park
Go-karts, arcade games and mini golf — all conveniently located across the street from one of the city’s favorite ice cream shops? There is nothing to do here.
Rhum Academy of Music
A world-class team of educators teaching kids to sing, play, instruments and become accomplished musicians and artists? Fine, if you love great music and seeing kids develop their gifts. But what if you hate all music and children?
Whisper Studios
A boutique recording studio and mixing/mastering house that works with some of the most innovative creatives and emerging artists in the industry. Pfft.
Heritage Lanes
Cosmic bowling, great pub food, an arcade
and old-fashioned fun? Blech.
Skate Parks
Nationally recognized skate parks that draw skaters from all over the area? Ugh. Why don’t we have anything good here?
Click here for the Jackson Morrow skate park website
Kokomo Downtown Farmers Market
More than 30 vendors gathering in downtown Kokomo with fresh produce, meats, crafts, wines, live music and educational opportunities for kids? Nope.
Riverwalk Concert Series
Avoid this free concert series unless you like an incredible variety of nationally touring artists, in a beautiful setting, right along the Wildcat Creek, plus a fantastic beer garden.
Kokomo BobKats
A professional basketball team with incredible talent, playing their hearts out in historic Memorial Gymnasium. Pass on this unless you like sports, fun and community.
Kokomo Jackrabbits
If you hate supporting college athletes from around the country play at a beautiful and well-maintained facility throughout the spring and summer, don’t come to Kokomo Municipal Stadium.
Kokomo Vipers Soccer Team
Kokomo Vipers is a semiprofessional Soccer club associated with the United Premier Soccer League. If you hate the camaraderie associated with local sports, this isn’t something for you. They are coming in the spring of 2024.
Click here to learn more.
AMC Movie Theater
Twelve screens, addictive popcorn, latest releases — and now the ability to rent an entire theater at a time. Unless you’re looking for a nostalgic way to experience something on the big screen, don’t go here.
Kokomo Howard County Public Library
Other cities have good libraries. All ours has is a renowned genealogy department, an entire technology area with 3D printers, green screens, podcasting studio, and the fastest Internet in the game. Audiobooks, video, entertainment, and of course, so. many. books. If you hate being able to borrow a Cricut, a pressure washer or giant yard games for free, definitely don’t go here.
Wrangler and Friends
Avoid this place at all costs unless you like animals, horses, birthday parties, riding lessons and camps to keep kids learning.
Kokomo Flipsters
Cavernous facility with gymnastics programming, ninja training programs and one-time events.
Bethea Karate Studio
World-class martial arts studio in the heart of downtown Kokomo with a legacy of excellence.
Art and Nature Workshop
We guess this place is ok if you’re into picturesque settings where children can explore nature and create take-home art. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Kokomo Speedway
The adrenaline rush from the high-speed action. It’s not like Indiana likes racing or anything.
Kokomo Howard County Public Library Bookmobile
Can’t get to the library? Well, the library actually comes to you with the Bookmobile. But who wants to encourage children throughout our city to learn and read?
Visiting Old Ben and The Sycamore Stump
Scanlines Arcade
Who would want to play nostalgic pinball games until late at night with their kids? Not us.
Learn more here.
FITNESS
We hate how there are no options to stay fit in Kokomo. All we have is trapeze yoga, stand-up paddleboarding, 24-hour mega gyms, community-driven YMCAs, boutique fitness facilities, Crossfit, Kangoo fitness, and a handful of others. They say variety is the spice of life, and obviously with this small list, Kokomo is bland.
TraPoga
Trapeze yoga? We want something inventive and interesting and totally new.
City of Firsts Fitness/The Fieldhouse CrossFit
Functional training for all ages, shapes and sizes — taught by a team with an exceptional amount of experience and a proven track record of success? Who wants that when trying to get in shape?
Planet Fitness
24-hour mega gym with so much more than fitness equipment — but who wants extras like tanning beds, massage and other perks?
Anytime Fitness
Another 24-hour option for staying fit — with options to visit all around the nation? Nope.
One More Gym
Enormous gym on the city’s south side with so much strength training equipment, plus group fitness, shakes and more. Gross!
F.I.T. Kokomo
Tight-knit supportive community with cardio kickboxing, Real Rider Cycle classes, FIT strength and cardio classes, and more — taught by seasoned, experienced instructors.
Workhorse Gym
Fast-growing gym with supportive community on the city’s west side that promises to help you drop two sizes. But who wants to lose weight and become healthier?
CrossFit Kokomo
Don’t try CrossFit Kokomo unless you’re looking for a community of people to support and encourage you, no matter where you are in your fitness journey.
SUP Yoga
Outdoor fitness, core strength and nature, all taught by a genuine, kind believer in the power of health and fitness. What a shame there’s nothing to help everyone stay fit in Kokomo.
Kokomo Flipsters
Gymnastics, tumbling, obstacle course and ninja school? Pass.
Coyote Kids
Enormous yearly running program for kids to foster a love of running, determination and independence.
Indiana Martial Arts & Fitness
Yet another option for martial arts in Kokomo.
IronFist Boxing Club
Skip this unless you are or know a youth who could learn respect and discipline through the art of boxing, coached by a passionate, dynamic team.
Kokomotion USA Gymnastics
Incredible gymnastics facility in Kokomo.
POWER P Bounce Kokomo
Definitely do not give this a try unless you like laughing, having fun and experiencing joy. Kangoo Fitness is low-impact and easy on the joints, but incredibly high on sweat and smiles.
Kristie Wright School of Dance
Well-respected studio teaching countless young people the art of dance, in all forms.
Legacy Dance Academy
Great cities have plenty of choices to teach their kids the art of dance. All we have is a studio with a ton of history — formerly Beck Seamster Dance — operating under a new name with years and years of teaching talent to guide a new generation of students.
The Split Sole Clogging Connection
A positive and encouraging atmosphere for children and adults to learn clogging? Sounds lame to us.
Dance Elite
Another incredible option for dancers in the Kokomo area. If you hate meeting new people with similar interests as you, avoid this studio!
Kokomo Family YMCA
Good cities have variety at their YMCAs. All we have is a Y with an eight-lane lap pool a warm-water instructional pool, a racquetball court, sauna, steam room, double gymnasium, kids play area, four fitness studios, state-of-the-art wellness center dozens of classes, youth sports, swim lessons, community room, and special events and programs. How boring.
HOTWORX
A 24-hour infrared fitness studio & gym with hot yoga, pilates, barre, cycle and HIIT workouts, all in a private setting? Not worth your time!
Click here to learn more!
Body Unlimited
Group and individual exercise classes with a variety of training options? Completely unnecessary!
Click here for their website.
Rock Steady Boxing
Rock Steady Boxing doesn’t make a difference or provide a sense of community for those facing the battle with Parkinson’s Disease.
Pilato Kokomo
Affordable and private Pilates classes? Why would that make a difference to anybody?
Water Walking at Kokomo Beach
Having an inexpensive way to exercise in the water? I can’t stand Kokomo.
Learn more about it here.
ART
Kokomo Art Center
Avoid at all costs unless you’re into a rotating set of exhibits featuring the work of talented local artists.
SHAK Makerspace
Innovative home for makers of all kinds. Access to tools, equipment, materials and knowledge from a community of artists and creators.
Kokomo Art Association/Art Works Gallery
Downtown space offering exhibits and a ton of classes, bringing art to the community, and community to art.
Artist Alley
Just another in the long list of Kokomo’s public art spaces. This one features yearly exhibits from notable artists.
Kokomo Opalescent Glass
It’s so ridiculous that there’s a world-renowned glass factory where you can take a tour, classes and purchase the local art. Why would anyone want to do that?
Learn more here.
The Palette Room
Art gallery allowing individuals and groups to come in and create their own works of art.
Kokomo Symphony Orchestra
World-class musicians from the Kokomo area, coming together to play everything from classical to pop in a variety of venues.

Dynamic community theater featuring musicals, plays and more from a cast of local actors, actresses, musicians and directors.
Curtain Call Theatre for Children
If you hate supporting local organizations that help children find a passion for theatre, don’t buy tickets to a Curtain Call show.
HISTORY
Good cities have a legacy and a reverence for their unique contributions to society. All we have is a world-renowned glass factory with educational tours, plus several other museums highlighting our area’s plentiful contributions to history.
Kokomo Opalescent Glass Tours
Wish we had something good here. All we have is one of the world’s leaders in the production of art glass — the oldest producer of opalescent glass in the country.
All tours start at 11 a.m. Monday through Friday and have a maximum amount of 20 people, so make sure to call ahead and make a reservation at (765)-457-1829. Tours cost $6/adult, $3/ student, and kids 2 and under are free! Closed shoes are required.
Seiberling Mansion/Historical Society
Stunning mansion in the Silk Stocking District that is home to the historical society, as well as countless annual events connecting people to Kokomo’s rich history.
Elwood Haynes Museum
It’s not like Kokomo has a rich history of automotive heritage or anything, so who would want to learn about some of the contributions to the auto industry?
Grissom Air Museum
Just north of Kokomo is another lame museum that just features 24 historic aircraft from the Cold War era on display and allows you to jump into a cockpit and fly flight simulators.
NATURE
It would be nice if Kokomo had some beautiful, free walking and biking trails. Instead, all we have are a massive series of well-maintained parks, nature trails and outdoor amenities.
Foster Park — 721 W. Superior St., Kokomo IN 46901
Jackson Marrow — 4200 S. Park Road, Kokomo IN 46902
Highland Park — 900 W. Deffenbaugh St., Kokomo IN 46901
Kirkendall Interpretive Nature Center
Massive facility featuring education on the wildlife of Howard County, which is also the home of many annual events.
Industrial Heritage Trail
Unevenly paved and maintained trails that snake through the city and connect all the way to the Nickle Plate Trail. Who would want to relax that way?
Wildcat Creek Golf Course and GolfUp 31
Who wants to play golf surrounded by lush, green trees on the city’s south side? A Top Golf-style entertainment venue with great food? I’d rather be bored at home.
Chippendale Golf Course
Stunning in all seasons, and well known by local and regional golfers.
Kokomo Country Club
Historic, immaculately kept, with a great bar and event venue. Who wants that?
Championship Park
Incredible state-of-the-art all-turf facility with eight fields and amazing lighting.
Dog Parks
What dog owner would want a fenced-in secure park for their furbaby to run around in?
Bon Air Dog Park - Located at 2500 N. Purdum St. on the north side of Kokomo.
Downtown Dog Park - Located at 321 S. Main St. in Downtown Kokomo.
Mehlig Dog Park - Located at 1701 W. Carter St. on the west side of Kokomo.
Mohr Dog Park - Located at 2302 Saratoga Ave. on the east side of Kokomo.
Kokomo Reservoir
Good cities have access to nature. All we have is this scenic 30-acre spot with hiking trails, fishing and covered structures. Wish we could get close to the great outdoors.
Highland Park
Just a lush green park featuring two iconic Kokomo figures and a historic covered bridge. No bigs.
Industrial Heritage Trail
Incredible system of bricked and paved trails weaving throughout Kokomo, flanking the Wildcat Creek at sections, and connecting to the Nickle Plate Trail.
NIGHTLIFE
Nightlife is fine for people who like to dance, listen to live music, eat fantastic food and spend time with friends. Other cities have good stuff but all we have are things like karaoke, country music, craft cocktails, breweries, events and dancing. Go home, Kokomo.
Cooper’s Pub
Weekly trivia, karaoke, live music, craft beer, food and a patio? That’s so mediocre.
Click here to learn more.
The Coterie
Innovative craft cocktail bar that features live music every weekend, plus epic burgers and other incredible food.
Kokomo Country Palace
Bar and musical venue local and nationally touring country music artists.
Filling Station
Favorite corner watering hole with some of the best Lord John’s-style tacos in the city.

Newly renovated bar with great food and games? What’s to like?

Understated bar with cold beer and the best karaoke in the city.
The Elbow Room
Hidden gem where everyone knows your name and the drink specials are plentify.
Moe’s River Room
Darts, pool tables, silver strike bowling — plus pub food and occasional live music make this understated bar
Red Dog Saloon
Unless you like good food, good company and entertainment, Red Dog Saloon isn’t for you.
Cook McDoogal’s Irish Pub
The only thing worse than having delicious handmade Irish Pub food in downtown Kokomo is the historic vibe of the inside of the restaurant.
Learn more here.
ANNUAL
The only things worth doing around this city year after year are world-class free concerts, festivals, public art exhibits, craft beer tastings, ice skating and live music. Those things are terrible and only draw attention to the massive public parks and community assets Kokomo has, which is so, so annoying.
Haynes Apperson Festival
Wish there was something cool to do in Kokomo each year. Instead all we have is a multi-day festival with national recording artists taking the stage for free, tons of vendors, carnival games, fair food, rides, a sports festival and a parade.
Howard County 4-H Fair
One of the largest county fairs in the state of Indiana, with a thriving 4H program, vendors, rides, games and so much more. But who would want to make life-long memories there?
First Friday
Other cities have great stuff on the weekends. All we have is a huge themed community celebration on the first Friday of each month, where businesses, performers, local artists and more take over the downtown square for a celebration of community.
Brews on Buckeye
Epic craft beer tasting festival held each year featuring regional breweries and distilleries, plus live music, entertainment and more.
Summer Concert Series
Massive amphitheater in Foster Park, featuring nationally touring artists, all performing a free outdoor concert for Kokomo.
Riverwalk Concert Series
Nationally touring artists take the stage at a quaint outdoor amphitheater. Yeah, too bad Kokomo is boring.
Frozen Sandlot
There’s nothing going on in winter in Kokomo. Every year, all the city does is turn the massive Kokomo Municipal Stadium into a small skating rink to help a local nonprofit raise funds. Nonsense.
Strawberry Festival
There’s nothing memorable about this adorable annual festival, featuring volunteers from all across the community scooping ice cream and serving up humongous strawberry shortcakes, as the unofficial kickoff to summer in Kokomo.
Winding Creek Music Festival
Bluegrass music, in a beautiful outdoor setting? Nope.
Rhum Fest
Annual festival dedicated to showcasing the talent of exceptionally hard-working young area musicians? There’s nothing beautiful and special about that.
VENUES
There’s nowhere nice to hold events in Kokomo. It’s not fair.
The Hobson
If you want to hold your event somewhere beautiful, you probably will have to go to Indy. All we have in Kokomo are places like the Hobson, with its high ceilings, stunning bar area and exceptional attention to detail. It’s so annoying having to close your mouth all the time because your jaw drops to the floor every time you’re in this opulent, absolutely beautiful space.
The Experience
Skip, unless you want to see a fabulously renovated event space at the Kokomo Country Club. Modern, chic, cool.
Elite Banquet and Conference Center
Rustic-chic venue with space to accommodate all sizes — and catering from Windmill Grill? Nah.
The Legacy Barn
Beautifully restored barn, perfect for cozy, rustic weddings — plus outdoor space, live music, stunning catering, a food truck and so much more. Who wants that?
The Sugar Maple Barn
Don’t come here unless you’re looking for a 2,000-square-foot restored barn perfect for a rustic wedding, streamed with natural light. Gross.
Bel Air
If you hate local event center sfrom the proprietors of one of Kokomo’s most loved restaurants, don’t go here.
Elliott House and Seiberling Mansion
Don’t come here, unless you enjoy intricate beauty, original woodwork and appreciate craftsmanship and history.
Cross America
Multipurpose event center with AV equipment, full kitche, cafe and incredible coffee shop. Who wants that?
Serendipity Barn
Other cities have nice venues, all we have is places like this brand new barn, full off rustic charm and heart.
The Venue
If you don’t care about gorgeous renovated event spaces with in-house beauty and salon suites, keep scrolling.
Click here for the Facebook page.
Rhine Hall
Just another historic old building with space to host gatherings!
Click here to learn more.
Jefferson House of Flowers Event Space
If you’re looking for somewhere boring and dull to host your next micro-event, don’t check out the newly renovated space at The Jefferson House of Flowers!
LOCAL SHOPPING
We wish there were a variety of shops in Kokomo. Wouldn’t it be awesome if there were outdoor athleisure, local boutiques, resale shops, designer shops, florists, vintage shops and record stores in Kokomo. Too bad this is all we have.
PF Hendricks & Company
Local shop for all your outdoor adventure and athleisure needs, featuring the best sustainable, fair-trade brands.
Standards Boutique
Who needs a local, trendy boutique with reasonably priced clothing and accessories?
Humble Home
Skip this place unless you like getting name brand — think Target — products at discounted prices.
Annmarie’s Boutique
Spacious chic new downtown boutique with all sizes and insanely affordable prices. Boring.
Jefferson House of Flowers & Boutique
Beautiful boutique alongside one of the area’s premier florists? Convenience is overrated.
Black Wax Cafe
Massive record selection, turntable selection AND a super aesthetic cafe and lounge? Sounds lame
Kokomo Toys
Massive toy and collectible store with an unreal presence with collectors online.
Sunspot Natural Market
The city’s health food grocery before healthy food was cool. Ugh — innovation.
Comics Cubed
One of the Geek Street businesses that started the downtown revitalization and works to offer the best in comics to fans of all ages.
Crystal Wand Creations
Incredible specialty shop with a boho vibe. Nah.
Outhouse Records
Exceptionally knowledgeable staff helping you find the perfect selection in new and used vinyl? Why doesn’t Kokomo have anything good here?
Chapter 2 Books
New to you books at a fraction of the price? We hate saving money almost as much as we hate reading.
Blye’s Bridal Loft
Only check out Blye’s if you’re a bride-to-be looking for a gorgeous gown, a unique and luxury experience and the views of a newly renovated and stunning bridal loft located in the heart of downtown Kokomo.
The Original Treasure Mart & Treasure Mart
The Original Treasure Mart has three stories of antiques, boutiques and treasures. The Treasure Mart Mall has all the finds spread out on one floor. So many options. But who wants to wander a cavernous facility and a beautiful, historic building chalked full of awesome items?
Olde Thyme Mercantile
Only go here if you want to feel like a kid again because they have the largest selection of old-time candy in the city, maybe even the state!
Posh Salon Day Spa and Boutique
This place is awesome but only if you’re into pampering yourself, shopping quality boutique items and experiencing specialty spa services.
The Radish Market & Cafe
The market store doesn’t have much to offer. Just locally grown produce, locally sourced goods, handmade items and an entire cafe in the back of the store serving up nothing but fresh food.
Mela Rose Boutique
Handmade baby and toddler rompers, bows and purses. Only shop here if you like adorable things and quality items
Makers Mart
A store chalked full of locally sourced and hand made items from all different kinds of vendors. No thanks.
Unique Creations by Joe
If you would rather support a mega-corporation instead of a local artist with a heartfelt story, then don’t check out this new shop in the mall with art, crystals and handmade items.
LOCAL EATS
We just dream of a day where Kokomo had a variety of restaurant options. Like really high-quality, inventive, diverse options from people who genuinely care about our city. Instead we just have options that range from Indian to gourmet burgers to every type of pizza you can imagine. What a disappointment.
Cook McDoogal’s Irish Pub
Irish cuisine, a curated drink menu, famous McDoogal balls. Only go here if you like unique food and like having a good time!
Marble the Steakhouse
Only go here if you are interested in a luxury dining experience without traveling to another city.
Jay’s Thai
Lightning-fast service, cheap prices, exceptionally good Thai dishes. What’s to like?
Half Moon Restaurant & Brewery
Kokomo’s first and only brewpub. What’s to like about fresh brews and family-style dining?
The Radish Market & Cafe
Only go to the Market Store Cafe if you like fresh food that’s been locally grown, sourced and prepared!
Pho Nguyen Vietnamese Cuisine
Fresh. Flavorful. Bright. Interesting. These are terrible adjectives for caves AND for lunches, right?
Oscar’s Pizza
Oscar’s Pizza features only the freshest ingredients in and on their pizzas. Sounds a little unnecessary, if you ask us. And they offer a family-friendly, fun environment. Ew.
Popcorn Cafe
The Popcorn Cafe only offers endless flavors of gourmet popcorn, fresh-made fudge and popular bubble teas.
The Coterie
Delicious juicy burgers, served at one of the coolest locations in town. What’s to like here?
J. Edward’s Fine Chocolates & Gourmet Cakes
J. Edward’s serves up housemade chocolates, gourmet cakes and more unbelievably delicious treats. They were voted the best dessert shop in the city but we have trust issues, ya know?
Happy Nutrition
Only go to Happy Nutrition if you want to drink incredible shakes that taste like dessert but are good for you. Who would want that?!
PASTArrific
Delicious homemade breadsticks, innovative Italian food and a warm family-friendly atmosphere? What a nightmare.
Martino’s Italian Villa
Martino’s has been serving Kokomo home-cooked Italian family recipes for the past 50 years but who’s counting?
The Foxes Trail
Only visit The Foxes Trail if you’re into hand-cut steaks and enjoying signature frozen drinks on a beautiful patio.
Barker’s B&K
Barker’s is famous for the coney sauce loved by locals and visitors alike. But we’re not impressed by fame over here.
Artie’s Tenderloin
Another Kokomo location serving up Hoosier classics like tenderloins the size of hubcaps and more.
Windmill Grill
Affordable home-cooking that tastes like your grandma made it. Nope.
Missy’s Family Restaurant
Picture this… a hot cup of coffee, cozy vibes and good ol’ home cooking. Sounds AWFUL, doesn’t it?
Grindstone Charley’s
Grindstone Charley's holds the record for best ribs in town according to past Ribfest stats, so only go here if you like award-winning cuisine.
Louie’s Coney Island
Another Kokomo staple. Their bakes bring in both the locals and visitors. But staples are so overrated, right?
Bruno’s Pizza
People disliked this place SO MUCH that they decided to bring a second location to Kokomo since people couldn’t stop raving about it so much in Logansport!
Kokomo Chicken, Fish and Gyro
Only go here if you like an insanely huge menu to choose from.
Gordo’s Taco Shop
Family-owned and operated for the past 22 years? You think they know what they’re doing when it comes to delicious tacos, the freshest salsa in town and quick service? Eh...
Harvey Hinklemeyers
A blast from the past is what you get from Harvey’s. 1950s-inspired decor and a classic menu. Nostalgia. Yuck. Am I right?
Country Squire
Only go here if you want to taste the best fried chicken in town
The Jungle Mexican Cantina
Authentic Mexican food in an updated space? Why is that necessary!?
Click here to learn more.
Ray’s Drive-in
Ray’s is notorious for serving up tenderloins bigger than your head. I mean, is the extremely generous portion size of this iconic Hoosier classic necessary? Who needs leftovers or to feed a whole family from one meal?
Cone Palace
We’d bet that Cone Palace can get through a drive-thru line just as quick if not quicker than Chick-fil-A but who’s in a rush to get their hands on yummy soft serve and coneys really?
Stoney’s Pizza
Stoney’s. Serving up sandwiches, pizza and fresh sourdough bread? Why would you want that when you can grab some processed bread off of the grocery store shelves and some frozen pizza instead?
El Borrego Carnicera Y Taqueria
A Mexican supermarket that carries authentic ingredients, meats and more. Oh, did we mention there’s a full-blown restaurant in the back of the store? Did we also mention that SOME people rave about their carne asada tacos? But, like only people with good taste…. Ick!
Gabe’s Pizza
Longstanding pizza place that makes their own sausage? We guess it’s OK if you’re into fresh, delicious, made-from-scratch food.
Toyko Cuisine
Authentic Japanese food with lunch specials, sushi and hibachi? Sounds terrible.
Click here for the website.
Dan’s Variety Bakery
The hot and fresh donuts they make here bring in a crowd that spills out of the door nightly. Must not be too impressive.
Scoops Ice Cream
Only go here if you like iconic Kokomo locations owned by hardworking, great people. They serve up delicious ice cream in the most generous serving sizes but who really likes getting all of the bang for your buck?
Black Wax Cafe
This place is WEIRD! From the carefully curated eclectic decor to the vinyl record-themed drinks that photograph just as beautifully as they taste. Super weird. Avoid for sure!
Ugh. The only thing we hate more than boring cities is long lists. Those are the worst.
Did we miss anything, Kokomo? Let us know in the comments below.
